There are even Pentium-II based Microchannel machines, but they have PCI

you want a PS/2 Server 95A Pentium Processor Complex, I have one for sale.
Peace... Sridhar
That I know they are 286 class, I didn't mean to
imply that I thought they
were a 486. Two of the three machines have an Intel snap-in 386 installed,
so they have a subset of the 386 instruction set available, but are still
basically 286 machines.
Yup. The best upgrades for these machines, though, were (IMHO) the AOX
Micromaster 486.
The fastest
Intel-based Microchannel machine was the IBM PC Server
720. It has 6 Pentiums. The fastest Microchannel 486 was the IBM PC
Server Server 95A with a 486DX2-66, but Pentium was already out by
then.
I'd like to find a 486 or pentium class microchannel machine to test
software with one of these days. I'm just not sure what I should be
looking for.
